 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partha = Arjuna!

 Vedavadrtah = Those interested in the debate of meanings of Veda, 

 Anyata na asti = above this ( debate ) nothing ( superior ),

 Iti  vadinah = ( this way ) so arguing,

 Kamatmanah svarggaparah =  kami ( over ambitious and greedy ), and  svarggam ( heaven ) is the supreme aim, ( like minded people ),

 Avipascitah = FOOLS.

 Boga-isvariya-gatim = for (achieving / gaining/ enjoying), boga ( sensuous pleasures and material gains ),

 Janma-karma-phala-pradam = resulting in karmaphalam ( rewards/ fruits ) of their karma ( actions of above narated) : the REBIRTH,

 Kriya-visesha-bhahulam = the so far explained (in detail ) of merits of kriya (activity),

 Yam-imam-pushpitam-vacam = whatever sweet, tender, attractive words,

 Pravdanti = ( who ) speak,

 Taya-apahyta-cetasam = ( those ) attracted by the above narrations, and  extremely over-powered by desires ( people ),

 Samadou = in samadi ( inner-equipment ),

 Vyavasayatmika bhuddhih = firm, strong, intelligence,

 Na  vidheeyate = not happening ( not present ).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here in these three sloka Vyasa maharishi, who is the author of  Srimad Bhagavadgeeta, put maximum effort to show the ignorance, of public in those days! Lord Krishna narrates the details of truth brilliantly. Here people who take the shelter of  'Karma' kandam ( part ) of Veda and live in a imaginary world. Lord  says  : "Pushpitam-vacam-pravdantiya-vipascitah"  ( Fool's Sweet, tender attractive words), these adjectives are certainly  the clear proof  to show the ignorance of people those days. In the ancient days, openly critcising these kind of fanatic people is appreciable.
The greed towards sensuous pleasures, and profits, made them loss of intelligence, live in the world of  imaginations. These pleasure seeking people talks of karmakandam of vedas. They, to fullfil their ambitions followed and practiced vedic activities. They truly misused the principle of karmakandam of veda, for their selfish motives. They could not see the supreme goal of live is something else.
They believe that practicing karmakandam of veda may surely give results, so that they may attain heaven after death. They further day-dream that at heaven they enjoy all pleasures. Lord says : They do not realse that one who immersed in earthly pleasures cannot get concentration of mind, thereafter cannot gain inner silence to reach the goal of connecting Paramatma. Further, Krishna continues to Arjuna : For spiritual progress all these karma ( above said ) are not helpful, that is useless and unimportant relgious rituals. Without trying for the goal, without knowing the path towards the goal, living in the fools paradise is pity!
Now about Veda and Karma-kandam, : "It is just route for Vedantham only. The actual path is  : by practicing meditation one can certainly reach the target -the Goal -Paramatma and Jeevatma union." The contents of vedantham is the debate of this only.  The use of Karma-kandam of Veda is to develop the inner purity and leads the Jeevatma towards higher level of Vedantham. Without knowing this truth, assuming the route ( practicing karmakandam )   as the aim and live in the ignorance is fool's action only.  Veda should be followed without any selfish motives, if so, then thereafter seeker gets clear path towards Paramatma .
Those who live in sensuous pleasures throut their life, : loss of intelligence, and loss of mental peace .......end miserably.

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-5. Part-5.( Last Part)

5: God is Our Eternal Friend-5. ( Last Part ) We are filled with doubts in our minds—we can prepare a dictionary of all our doubts—they are endless. Everywhere we have a suspicious attitude about the world, about things, about people, about ourselves, about the past, about the present, and about the future. These doubts cannot be dispelled until knowledge arises, and we know what knowledge means, an insight into which we have been given in the second chapter of the Gita. Knowledge is the knowledge of God ultimately, and as a result, knowledge of the nature of the world in its reality, as mentioned in the third chapter. This is true knowledge, and when we are awakened to this real knowledge, all doubts get dispelled. Then what happens? Atmavantam—we become truly possessed of the Self that we really are. We are people who have lost ourselves and are in pursuit of things outside. Yes, this is what has happened; we have grasped the world and lost our own selves, and we are

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad gita : Ch-10. Part-3.

Chapter 10: The Imperishable Among All that is Perishable : Part-3. We are told in the Puranas that Narayana or Vishnu takes incarnations for the preservation of creation. Vishnu is regarded as yajna itself. It is the highest sacrifice—God sacrificing himself every moment of time for the sustenance of His creation. As adhiyajna He is the administrative power and the methodology of the working of the cosmos. All activity is comprehended under this yajna of the cosmos. Therefore God is present in all activity when it is considered as a passage to God, when it is regarded as a manifestation of God as rays emanating from the sun. Those wise souls who envisage God as adhibhuta, adhidaiva and adhiyajna, which means to say, who encounter God as a comprehensive Absolute and not merely existing only here or there, such devotees are true knowers. They can entertain or maintain this consciousness even at the time of passing from this world—they are not deprived of th

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-9. Part-8.

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....
